Where Love Meets.

Chapter 31

On the table written 'come to my office' in bold and in Kyle's writing, I fixed my hair then straightened my dressed and walking into his office, when I got in I first noticed the melancholy expression on his face so I looked  down while going towards him I stood next to waiting for the reason I was called here

''Jay look-'' He said before I cut him off

'' Sir please do not address me in  my first name, Ms Carter will be appreciate as I will call you Mr. Matthews'' I said in a stern voice and  looking down. He stood up then sat down again. I just did not want to see him or anyone but yet I had to because he is the boss, and I'm the employee

''Is there anything you need Sir'' I said after a while of silence, he still did not respond so I shifted my gaze towards him. He was just looking at me with the saddest eyes and trying to say something but   the words wouldn't come out, after seeing him like that tears began pricking at the corner of my eyes again, I knew I was going to cry again soon.

''I'll be taking my leave then'' I said walking out the office and back to my work. Hours passed occupying myself with the work and Kyle being in his office, he would run his finger through his forehead and hair every minute ,and   has not called me to his office ever since

It was 4pm and I was ready to leave this hell whole, I called Mike minutes earlier to get me, I tidied my desk check the schedule for tomorrow. I walked out of my cubicle and headed the exit, but I was pulled back by a pair of hands on my arms

'' Where are you going'' Kyle said behind me while still holding my arm , I pulled my arm away and continued walking, He followed behind while calling my name and then pulled me again

''I'm going home Mr. Matthews, my shift is over'' I said in a harsh tone

" but I always take you home why are you going alone today ,let me just my phone and ill meet you at the car park" He said looking at me and walking back into the buildings before I  stop him

"I'll be travelling with Mike from today, thank you" I said turning my back to him

"What? Why, what did I do Jordon?"He asked pleading with me 

"What you did? Are you seriously asking me that? You the reason my life is so messed up, you the cause of all my misfortunes and then you ask what you did? The least bit you could have done is stood by me, protect me for once Kyle that's all I wanted   from you, even in prom that's all I needed –your protection. Now Excuse me please my ride is here" I said walking to the red truck tears blurring my vision

I got inside the car and smiled sadly to mike, he wanted to ask me what was going on seeing the tears and Kyle standing he decided to been quiet and the drive home was quieter than I've ever experienced with mike. My thoughts wandered to the face I saw on Kyle, I know what I said was partially true I can't blame him for my messed up life, but at that the moment I wanted to lay my burdens on someone and unfortunately he was the victim, I was sad I really wanted to break down and cry like I never did. The car parked and i went out , when I got inside the I instantly ran to Keera and cried like, I cried on Keera's shoulders while she brushed my hair, after a while she let go off me and looked at her

"Want to tell me what happened kiddo?" She asked while pulling me to sit on the chair. I sat down and told her everything and you could see the concern in her eyes

"I'm sorry honey" She said sadly and got up to prepare me a meal, after eating while talking to her she spoke again

"So what do you think is going to happen?" She asked suddenly 

"Honestly Keera I don't know, we just have to wait and hope for the best" I said smiling and got up, kissed her cheeks and went upstairs, when I got upstairs I took a quick shower and went to bed, I wanted to forget about today's even they were too much for me to bear but even though I tried sleeping I just couldn't my mind kept wandering to everything that happened until I heard a knock on the door that awakened me from my thoughts 

"Hey" Keera said peeking through the door. I looked from the ceiling to her

"Kyle is here to see you" She said coming inside to take a seat next to me 

"Tell him I don't want to talk to him, he should just go now" I said facing the wall until I heard the door shut suggesting that Keera has went out and I just closed my eyes minutes later I was asleep

The next day I felt horrible, I really did not want to go back there but I had to and my protruding belly just stood out today but that did not concern me as much as what was going to happen today, I got inside the building to all the stares and they worried me more , it felt like they knew what was going to happen today , I had a  feeling that everything won't go well today .I walked inside my cubicle placed my bag and went to the coffee machine to prepare Kyle his coffee ,after doing the coffee I went into his office to find no one inside. I looked around, arranged his file and went back to my cubicle. When I took seat the phone rang and I answered instantly

"Jordan can you come to the board room now" It was Mrs. Potter's stern voice then she hung up. I put the phone down and went to the board room. The hall way leading to the board room seemed a little longer today and all the anxiety kept building up with every step I took, I knocked quietly and the door opened to reveal the board members including Kyle.

"Good day Ms Carter , please take a seat" Mrs. potter said ,pointing at the available chair there, I took a seat and looked at all of them , they all looked sadly at me except Kyle, he didn't even look at me

"In indemnity we handed to everyone, there was a point that we forbid dishonesty, we did not want liar Ms carter and you broke that rule, We all can see that you are hard worker , you have always been the top one even at the training but this does not mean you could lie and hide your pregnancy from us and  you have to be punished"

She said while I kept looking at the floor, I didn't cried, in fact I didn't even have the energy to plead or cry, I could see that they have all made the decision and there is no going back

"I'm sorry Ms Carter but as of today you are dismissed with your monthly salary ,you are given a week in this company then from next  you will not be working for this company again" I looked up from the floor before a loud "WHAT" Resonated the room and that did not come from me . Kyle stood up and looked at Mrs. Potter

"Mr. Matthews that's the decision the board member came to , you were not here so we made a decision on your behalf" Mrs. Pottered said ,I took a look at Kyle and he was flaring 

"Who ever told you to make decisions for me, I'm the CEO of this company and i get to choose who gets fired or not" he said, his voice sounding louder and louder

"But Sir what we did was in the conditions of this company, we only did everything in the book" The other board member said while others began whispering 

"But c'mon you can't fire her, you can fired Ms Carter because of her pregnancy, look at the work she's done" He said becoming calmer

"Sir we also did not want to get to this but that's the only, she was dishonest" they said

"But she is pregnant w-" He said standing up again

0
"All the more reason she is dismissed , if we don't dismiss her we as say we employing even 9 months pregnant women and they can have all the benefits , the company will covierng everything" They said to  him , others were looking irritating and angry

"But she-"He said before he was cut off

"She just the same as others and she should be treated that way "They said loudly and others mumbling loudly it was utter chaos with no one listening to each other anymore

"SHE IS CARRYING MY CHILD, THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE, SHE'S CARRYING THE HEIR TO THIS COMPANY"He said loudly and suddenly the room went silent. Utter silence.
